Princh is a Danish software company founded in 2014 developing cloud printing solutions. The company is headquartered in the city of Aarhus, Denmark.[1]

Based on the idea of the sharing economy, Princh is building a global network of printers. Via a smartphone or web app, users can locate a printer nearby, get directions to go there and print and pay for the print job. The solution is available as native mobile apps for Android and iOS, as well as on web and desktop solutions for businesses and libraries. The app connects a network of printer owners and users around the world. Princh supports all types of printable files.

History

The company was founded in 2014. During the first months, the headquarters were located at the Navitas building, at the harbor of Aarhus. In early 2015, the company signed an investment deal with a private investor, allowing Princh to move to bigger offices and expand the team.[2] The company is currently based in the southern part of Aarhus. The Princh printing service was officially launched on June 23, 2015.[3]

At present, the Princh solution consists of printers in a multitude of locations such as print shops, libraries, hotels, universities or conference centers. Princh is a popular printing solution among libraries and can be found in Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Norway .[4][5][6]

How it works

With the Princh app, users will be able to locate their nearest printer. In Denmark, there are currently around 500 printing locations. Once the user is at the printer, the user chooses the document to be printed out and "opens it" (iOS) or "shares it" (Android) with Princh. At this point, the document will be uploaded to the Princh cloud. The user then selects the desired nearby printer entering the printer ID number or scanning the QR-code located on top of the printer, pays with their credit card or other preferred payment option and the print job is carried out.

Printer owners get access to a personal control panel where they can set print prices and monitor all Princh activity for their business. Installing Princh is free for printer owners. Princh gets a small fee per print job.
